tech is more art than tech.

When The Writing Sings

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”
― Gary Provost

About

I am a terrible writer and a perfectionist. Which pretty much means I rarely get anything published. But I have some interesting ideas about tech, startups, management, atheism and other things which I think some of you might find helpful. So I’m doing this. This blog is an unedited, tl;dr version of my thoughts. Sorry for the trouble!
